Shi Changhua, Zhang Deliang and others returned to the east courtyard with expressions of reluctance and fear.
Zhang Huaian frowned, glanced at Luo Guan coldly, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I take my leave."
Waving his hands, he led the navy away.
Although today's crisis was not dangerous, he felt more disgusted with this junior.
Mr. Zhou observed his words, bowed and took the initiative to retreat... But Xu Ying was more discerning than him and had already returned to her room.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Tong and Luo Guan were the only ones left in the west courtyard.
Her eyes were complicated, and she became more and more convinced that Luo Guan had some kind of trump card to restrain the demon clan. Otherwise, how could the eldest son of the Mountain-moving Demon King's Mansion, the Demon Lord of the Soul Realm, have his head chopped off after three "bang bang bang" blows.
"Alas! Luo Guan, even if you are angry, you should not kill the eldest son of Mountain Moving. These two sons, the older one and the younger, are the thorns in the side of the old ape. He will never let you go."
Luo Guan shook his head, "Killing one means death, but so what if you kill two? Everyone on the left and right is a mortal enemy, so let's just have fun!" He smiled and brazenly said, "That old ape who can move mountains wants revenge, so just come, young master. Send the three of them to a reunion!"
Jiang Tong rolled his eyes angrily. Among all the demon kings, the old ape moved fiercely. It was rumored that he had reached the peak of Guiyuan. He was just one step away from becoming one and promoted to the great demon king. He was qualified to be ranked among them. Royal Court.
Kill him... Luo Guan really dared to brag, but looking at the carefree and wanton smile in front of her, she felt inexplicably at ease.
"That day in Zhenhai City, I helped you escape a disaster. I thought I saved you, but instead I brought you into the dangerous situation you are in now...Luo Guan, be careful, I don't want you to die."
The second day.
Golden Demon King City, Teleportation Hall.
In order to avoid surprise attacks, the teleportation arrays between the Demon King's Palace and the Royal Court were protected.
Only under special circumstances, such as when Jiang Guo is on an envoy, will the authority be temporarily opened.
Buzz——
As the light surged, the Jiang State envoy and his entourage in the teleportation array disappeared.
Deep in the Red Sea, there is a vast island.
It is more than a million miles away from east to west, north to south, and can be regarded as a small continent in the sea.
This is where the Demon Clan Royal Court is located, Demon God Island!
In the center of the island, a majestic city was built, which was the capital of the demon clan and where the royal court was located.
At this moment, somewhere in the southeast of the royal capital, in a large hall.
The ground teleportation array was activated, spewing out dazzling spiritual light, and figures emerged from it, none other than the Jiang State envoy and his entourage.
Luo Guan felt a little chilled in his heart. Through the transmission time, he could determine that the Demon Clan Royal Court was extremely far away from the Azure Continent, and the Red Sea was so vast that it was unimaginable. Even if you knew that the Emperor Sword fragments were in this sea area, how much time would it take to search them again?
Buzz——
The origin of the Imperial Sword in the body vibrated, causing ripples.
Not in the royal court!
Luo Guan was disappointed and relieved at the same time, feeling quite complicated at the moment. After gathering his thoughts, he followed everyone out of the teleportation array, glanced around, and frowned subconsciously.
Then I saw that the main hall was completely empty. There was only one demon king standing in the hall, looking at it with indifferent eyes.
Jiang Guo sent an envoy and said that the demon clan's royal court did not pay attention to it, but sent a demon king to greet him. But if he said that he paid attention to it... this situation is really not like it.
At this moment, the demon king in the palace said calmly: "I, the king, go to the river, and by the order of the royal court, I welcome the envoy from the Jiang Kingdom. You will come with me."
Turn around and lead the way.
The carriage was already waiting outside the palace, with only one armored demon clan silently standing by. The surrounding area was empty, and no demon clan could be seen.
Jiang Tong hesitated for a moment and said: "I, Jiang Tong, may I ask where Demon King Tongjiang will take us?"
Demon King Tongjiang glanced at her and said, "The monks from Tianji Sect have been waiting in the royal court for a long time. I have been ordered to hand you over to him."
Everyone in the mission was obviously relieved. Jiang Tong said: "Thank you, Demon King."
After boarding the carriage, everyone discovered that the windows were sealed, with only a few gaps through which they could vaguely see outside.
Mr. Zhou frowned, "This carriage is almost a prison carriage. How can Demon Court be so rude?!"
Zhang Huaian frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart. The behavior of the Demon Clan Royal Court was very strange.
I hope nothing happens.
Shi Changhua, Zhang Deliang and others showed embarrassment and uneasiness, but they tried their best to show calmness in front of the eldest princess.
For a moment, his expression was distorted and weird.
Jiang Tong glanced at Luo Guan in the corner. He lowered his head slightly, unable to see the expression on his face.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Don't worry, everyone, this trip to the royal court will be protected by the experts of Tianji Sect, so there will be no accidents."
"In addition, there is another hidden story regarding the mission to the Demon Clan Royal Court."
Jiang Tong turned around and nodded to Mr. Zhou.
He coughed lightly and said: "This matter is classified as top secret before the mission. Zhou and His Highness are ordered by the emperor not to leak it in advance. Please forgive me."
Looking around at everyone, he continued: "Years ago, Jiang State discovered the ruins of an ancient immortal gate somewhere at the intersection of the Red and Yellow Seas. It was quite large and seemed to contain the mysterious technique of cultivating the Yuan, which was related to breaking through the realm and returning to the Yuan to unite. Unfortunately, before the excavation of the cave was completed, it was discovered by the demon clan. Because the ruins of the ancient immortal sect were too precious, the Tianji Sect came forward to mediate, so this mission to the demon court came about."
"With Your Highness the Eldest Princess as your honor, Jiang Guo has formed the Hidden Star Team, which will enter the demon clan duel with a certain little demon king and his subordinates in the demon court. The winner will obtain the ownership of the ancient immortal gate ruins. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter. I also hope that all my friends will go all out to help His Highness win and promote the prestige of our Jiang country..."
After that, there was a burst of chicken soup, blah blah blah, and he said that a duel is only about victory and defeat, not life and death, and you can take the initiative to admit defeat, etc.
Xu Ying's eyes widened. She knew about choosing a consort. She thought it was just a blind date trip, but she didn't expect that there was a hidden project. When he looked at Luo Guan, he saw a calm expression on his face and lowered his voice and said calmly: "Sir, have you guessed it a long time ago?"
"Yeah." Luo Guan nodded, not pretending to be calm after the fact. After confirming the members of the Hidden Star Team, he had some guesses.
Going to the Demon Court as an envoy is a big deal for Jiang Guo. How could it be just to choose a son-in-law for the eldest princess? In addition, the members of the Hidden Star Team are all at the Golden Core level, and their followers are limited to Nascent Soul. Although they don’t know the specific details, it is not difficult to guess that there are other arrangements.
That's why Luo Guan thought before that he might take this opportunity to return Jiang Tong's favor. But what happened after entering the Demon Clan Royal Court was a bit strange... But thinking about it, it was just an ancient cave house, and the Demon Clan Royal Court didn't pay much attention to it, which was considered normal.
"Yes! The Demon Court may not want this matter to be known to too many demon clans, so as not to cause criticism from the demons after the defeat!"
"That's right, that must be why they deliberately concealed the news about our arrival at the Demon Court."
"With Tianji Sect's endorsement, there should be no problem with this matter. We will do our best to help His Highness win and bring prestige to our Jiang country!"
Everyone in the Hidden Star team expressed their opinions one after another, their eyes gleaming with high morale.
It seems that after a great battle, he forced the demon clan to bow his head and admit defeat, and then won the favor of the eldest princess, thus reaching the pinnacle of his life.
After walking for a long time, the carriage stopped.
The voice of Tongjiang Demon King sounded, "Jiang State Envoy, we are here."
When everyone came out, the carriage drove directly into the interior of a large house.
There was a green-robed Taoist standing opposite Demon King Tongjiang, his eyes flashing slightly at this moment, covering everyone.
"I, Tianjizi, am the Supreme Elder of Tianji Sect. You will follow my arrangements later."
Everyone in Jiang Guo’s envoy looked respectful, “We’re going to pay our respects to the Supreme Lord Tianjizi!”
The machine is very strong today.
It goes without saying that he has a cultivation level in the Guiyi Realm, but he also has a fierce aura, like a divine sword unsheathed, and it stings just by looking at it, making people unable to help crying.
Luo Guan was secretly shocked. This person must be the strongest swordsman he has ever seen in his life. Even though I tried my best, I still had no confidence that I could block this Tian Jizi's sword.
As expected of an existence that can single-handedly frighten the demon royal court, its strength is so strong that even the Great Demon King of the Unity Realm would have to avoid the edge for a while.
Tian Jizi said expressionlessly, "You stay here for the next two days to adjust your condition. The day after tomorrow will begin the duel with the Demon Court."
He turned around and left with Demon King Tongjiang. Before leaving, he waved his sleeves and a formation suddenly opened, covering the entire courtyard and isolating it from the inside and outside!
Luo Guan was startled and looked at the surrounding formations, feeling even more uneasy.
Everyone in the surrounding Hidden Star team expressed surprise and gratitude.
"What an ingenious method, using the sword formation to protect one party is really unbelievable!"
"Senior Tianjizi took action personally to protect us and others from being disturbed by the demon clan."
"Jiang Guo and Tianji Sect have always been close, so Your Majesty will wait for me and take care of me more."
Even Zhang Huaian has relaxed since Tianjizi appeared and seems to have great trust in Tianji Sect. Luo Guan thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, there are many strange things after entering the royal court. Maybe you can ask Senior Tianjizi to clear up my doubts for us."
Everyone's expressions changed.
Shi Changhua shouted, "Luo Guan, what do you mean by this? But it is disrespectful to have doubts about the Supreme Being!"
Zhang Deliang sneered, "Your Majesty didn't say much, so there is no problem. Luo Guan, you are so bold, you dare to question Tianji Sect!"
The others also scolded him.
A bunch of bastards, so loud, are you afraid Tianjizi can't hear you? !
Zhang Huaian looked at him coldly and said, "Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable. Your Majesty is busy with the affairs of the Jiang Kingdom. How can we be disrespectful?"
Jiang Tong nodded, "I understand." She waved her hand, "Luo Guan also has good intentions. Please don't say any more and go down and rest."
After everyone dispersed, she whispered: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Luo Guan nodded and said nothing more.
Soon, two days passed.
On this day, the formation suddenly dispersed, and Tian Jizi arrived with a calm expression, "The Jiang State envoy will follow me to the duel field."
Everyone bowed respectfully and said, "I will obey your Majesty's orders!"
It was the same carriage as when it came, with the windows still closed, and it seemed that a formation had been added, and it was extremely quiet in my ears. Shi Changhua, Zhang Deliang and others were nervous and a little excited at this time, and they kept discussing the next response strategy.
In order to fight against the Little Demon King, they had prepared several plans, and now they were bringing them out just to attract Jiang Tong's attention. Compared with a few others, Luo Guan and Xu Ying, master and servant, seemed to be in another world, always remaining silent.
"Sir." Xu Ying lowered her voice, "You seem to be in a bad mood."
Luo Guan thought for a moment and said, "Follow me later and be more careful."
"Ah..." Xu Ying's eyes widened. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess said it was okay, and the Supreme Emperor of the Tianji Sect was present. How dare the Demon Clan Royal Court do something? She was full of questions. Seeing that Luo Guan had no intention of saying much, he blinked and fell silent, but she felt wary in her heart.
Xu Ying is more willing to believe in her own judgment than others, but if the Supreme Leader of the Tianji Sect is unreliable, the problem this time may be a bit big!
Soon after, the demon clan duel arena arrived.
But today's showdown is not an open fight but a secret fight.
The dark field refers to a secret realm made from space fragments. Both parties to the duel enter it and no one is watching. Its existence is similar to Luo Guan's previous experience when he participated in the test in the dream world.
In the main hall in front of you, there is a whirlpool rotating slowly, which is the entrance to the dark duel. Several demon clansmen were already waiting, and the leader was none other than the Tongjiang Demon King whom they had met once before.
Luo Guan's heart sank, and he felt a strong warning sign.
"Those participating in the duel at the royal court have entered in advance. Members of the Jiang State envoys, please take your seats as soon as possible." Demon King Tongjiang said calmly.
Tian Jizi lowered his eyes slightly and remained silent.
Jiang Tong frowned, "A secret duel?" She looked at Tianjizi, but received no response, and took a deep breath, "Excuse me, Demon King, what are the rules of this battle?"
Demon King Tongjiang smiled half-heartedly, "Rules? There are no rules! Today's secret duel, the one who comes out of it alive is the winner!"
